Opinions in England on the Presidential Contest— The Sham Demonsiration Against Naples--The Accident at the Surrey Gardens—-The Authen- ticity of Mrs. Stowe’s Authorship Questioned. By the time this reaches you, you will be so ab- sorbed in your Presidential election that my news will excite but litle interest. The intelligence reaching us from you reassures us in our hope—the hope J expressed some time since as general iu Eug- land—that Fremont's success is all but certain. A'though events are closing around us, and we are now finding occupation for our though\s on matters deeply concerning ourselves, we have time and sym- pathy to bestow upon you in your present struggle, and public opinion is freely expressed here on your matters; and I have no hesitation whatever in say- ing that Englund is heart and soul for Fremont. I think in one of my recent letters 1 stated the belief expressed here that the demoustration against Naples would end in smoke—not the smoke from ships of war, but that usually and valgady denomi- nated a bettie of smoke. If my memory serves me well, I have also alluded wo the reasons carseat here forthe alteration in the plens of the Wt ‘2 Powers. I find ail my prognestications realized, and that France and § nd 2 ¢ about to immortalize them: selvea by the perpetration of an extraordinary piece of stepid weakness, worthy in every way of two snch great nations. The demonstration is reaily to tuke place, but it is to come off > long way from Nv plee, for fear of shocking the nerves of King Bomba. The ships are to cruise between Sicily and Malta, and not to show themselves unless abso. lately called for. The two govcrnmests are grown caatious and considerate, too and so “ insurgents” are not to be countenanced, and King Ferdioand is t> be threatened by a fleet ordered to cruise ont of sizht of his shores. This is the way we do business. This is the way we render ou) demands subservient to the necessities of our great ally. The King of Naples is calied upon to yield certain things to his sub- jects, in deference to the wishes of France and England, aod the King of Naples bluntly refuses and taunts us, and tells as to look at home for grievances to remedy. France and England here- upon bluster, and talk of whips 20d bombardments; but by and by the bluster softens down. Louis Napoleon finds be has spoken too lovd, and so holds his hand, and Pulmerston finds be cannot move without his ally; and so we now ‘hear that the “ships are to cruise between Sicily and Malta.” This is just as I suid it would be—that the demon- stration would be a sham. What. then, is the object ot sending shipa to craise between Sicily and Malta’ Hear Official statement, and jadge for yourselves: Aa the rafety of the subjects of tho Western Powers be comprom!red, tho squadrons will be united, but ot Pent to tho waters of Naples, #0 a8 no to ofer epcou ragement or support to the disvontentod, who endeavor 10 upset the throne of the fwo Fetlies, ‘This you will aay is an excellent wey.of declaring the object of a demonstration:— + ‘There, Bumba, you are # bac boy apd you behave very badly to tue Httie chidren une or your care, and we moan to thi eaten to punieb you. bat tue birch stall be kept out or t and we will not use tt, in ceee your children should find acrength oven in the unites power of their Uttle banda, apa thrash you lor themseives. ‘Then, in order ¢> show the refractory boy the way out of bis scrape, our Wesveru correcters of abuses ge on to say, that If the King returns to better seatiments, tho two Pow. ers will renew the same relations with Bim as formerly. There! Nothing can beat this promise of pardon, and nothing can, I think, exceed the universal deri- sion excited by this puerile display. Even the Times is ashamed of it; for after laboring Gay to defend the government (as far as « Me ment measures can he ascertsined,) diroe cy tals lit- te bit reaches us through the Freach aowspa rs, letting us know the present state of all the fuss aud bombast which bave latterly #0 exeited the pale miod,the “Thunderer” cools down, aud gives a ieader of afew lines only, recapitulating, almost without comment, the gist of the article in the Moniteur. ‘These matters form the chief sulject for conversa- tion just now. ‘We are called a practical people. and perhaps with rome + but those who judge as must not iaa ine that we aie a peopie not givea to jooking abead a fivtle.

All the accounts reaching us confirm the rumors that there is serious couse for uneasiness, and it was therefore not to be mach wondered at that Louis Napoleon is relpctuat to enter upon a movement thot might resal in the emancipation and i vlence of Italy. Awhile ago when tite Times, in nccordance with govern- ment metruction, blustered on [talian aff.irs, and the British people had the cause of Italy in their mouths hourly, there were many here who begin to talk of Italian independer This was net very | likely to come from auy act of France or Mag land, who stood by and tuoked coidly on while Poland was evslaved and poor Hungary all but blosted out.

Alrhoogh there are a variety of subjects of a suf- ficiently exciting charactor before the French mind at the present moment, ali are more or less second- acy to the interest which the Presidential contest in the United States produces, and the “Georgian” reve- latons of the Loudon Times - if so unmistakeabie a hoas. may receive so important an epithet—have at least served the purpose of giving inordinate pi- quancy to the intesost already existing in relation to American aflairs, Here the feeling is unanimous in favor of Fremont. Mr. Buchanan's private cha- racter is greatly respected; but the Ostend confer- ence, in which he togk.so principal a part, is fatal to his character us a stateainan. The greatest inter- est is feit about the Pennsylvania decision. Gov. Wise’s speech, in an sbridged form, has beon re- produced in all the French journals, aad the concla- sion drawa from it is that the contest, up to the last, will be neck and neck. But probably by the time this reaches you the mystery will have been solved Our Emperor besrs « gallant front in the midst of the many difficulties which b.set his path, and the effect is seen in the firmer tone of all securities, | Since his return to St. Cloud from Biarritz, he has been incessant im his, attention to all things where his presence wae required to inspire confidence.

Physica! courage is, in theit estimation, at Teast quite equal to moral courage, and the Empe- rors presence in disafected quarters may almost be comp red to that ¢f Neptone when snddeniy appear: ing omong the turbulent waves excited to rebellions frightful accident | at the Sancy Gardens, and a few less important mat- | the ive saple of Persia jauned and con that an expe- | othe Persian Gulf is en rout parson say, who hos teen de- | The Emperor's opinion | the union of France and England, from which he has every thing to dread. The compliment which Alexander the Czar is thus disposed to pay Napoleon, is evidently baxed ou the same prinziple, and with the same view of breaking the entente covdiale; and there are many reasons why the Emperor of the French -hould be willing to ac- cept exch a position, The language of the efticial organ is exceedingly guarded, and by no means ex- cludes the French government from taking advan- tage of ony suc overtures on the part of Naples. “ fhis suspension of official relations,” it says, “dces not, in any way, constitute an interference in internal affairs, still less an act of hostility.” Again: the appearance of the English aud Frenebd squadrons for the security of the aubjects of the two governments, not in Neapolitan waters, “ haa rothing in it of a commendatory cha acter, and cannot be considered as % support to those who seek to chuke the throne of the King of the Two Si- ellics.” It must be allowed that the state of foreign politics continues to be anything buy re-assuring, and fur- nishes an argument to those parties in England who all along opposed the war as totally unneces- sary. The ink is scarcely dry which records the treaty of Paris, when some of the most important clauses are found to be so loosely worded that in reality it has settled nothing except the cxaltation of France, @ dimnution of prestige ag regards Ragas, and a position ay respects Russia whieh it is dificult to say is not more important than that which she hela before. A renewed Paris Con- ference must take ae under very ditizrent cir- cumetences to the East, and the voice of Rassia— once more Jord of the Crimea—mus* necessarily be more exalted than in March laet, when the same Crimea was beset with hostile armies, and surround ed by a combinded fleet such as was never betore seen in the bistory of the world. The bonds that than held down the giant of the North are probably now but a rope of sand. The opinion which I recorded as prevaiting on the subject of ihe recent change of pohey in Spain I find more #»d mere contixmed. Narvaez is looked upon by all simply as a more strongly developed | istustration of the feebie bat aspiring O'Donnell. Like the latter, he is considered fairly to represent no principle, and, hke the latter, he will pre- are the wey for another more violent change. | Whether that change wit! be a republic, a Carlist | restoration, ors Freneh intervention, is the ques- ton; the last is thought the more probavle. Na- oleon is believed to be “big with the futare.” In | his own patient, quiet, calm way, he is biding his time, and itis believed his object is to obtain, by sicalthy steps, thoce more enlarged bonads whic! his uncle <eized hy the more brilliant bas leas per- Mavens means of conquest. His conduct towards | Spain indicates how closely he watches events. When the Qoeen Mctber, the sequestratious on whore property it haa been the tirst act of Narvaez to revoke, wes in exile, what constant attention cid he not pay ber, and how welt he knows that in 10 Spain he possesses the surest weapon ord the country could be tarnished with! It is on that dis» half revolut stile passion: 4 | these elements of discontent which will ultimate) meelves into insurrections—iike 4 st of Engiand when the rivalries of bis interierence with Seot- land--Napeleon will play the umpire, but probably with far more «ipiomatic ability and suc- cess. And now the Emperor, the ress and the little Prince Imperial are all at Compeigne, where wnbeard of festivities ure coming off. A detachment of thirty Cent Gardes, commanded by a captain, was in attendance to es- cort their Majesties at the station, who then cerded to tne palace in an open carriage and four, the young Prince following in another, with his nurse und gowvernante. General Meurice rode at the winoow of their Majesties’ carriage. The first were to arrive yesterday.

The enteriainments are to con- sist of thee stag hunts, three theatrical representa- tics, and three days’ shooting, equally divided ammouest the three assemblages of quests who have hed the boner to be invited. The first stag hunt tekes place this ~. Re‘ore going to Compiegne, the court received the Biron envoys, whe are now in Paris. A master of the ceremonies went from St. Clond with four court carriages to recelve the envoys at their hotel, and then afterwards accompanied Chem to the pal- ace at St, Cloud. Two native servants stood behind eveh carriece, and each man carried a large gilt poreec|. When the cortege arrived at the gates of the palace four of the parasol-bearers accompanied to bis Majesty's presence the person carrying the crecentials, which were handed to the emperor hy Generel d’Ogani. The other envoys then nite to his Majesty a sword, the scabbavd being orww mei ted with rubies, and a large gold cup; and t the Empress they presesited various o'jrets of value emong *hich wasa superb sapphire. Tn prosentiny: these articles the envgys said that their sovereign proyed the Emperor to receive them, not for their value, but ae symbolic—the sword indicating that be wished him success in war, and the ct he éeverves his prosggrity.

Cautious and reserved es the diplomatic language of the eflicial organ is, it seems to be thought its sense ia too obvious, too wounding, if not too insult- ‘ng, to the amcur propre of any country for it to concede to it, No government could face its own subjects an hour afterwards, it is urged, which thus admitted in the face of the civilized world its in- significance. To hope to keep down rebellion by such 2 course is to hope to stay the tempest by a votive offering of umbrellas, and the Neapolitan Kivg must therefore fight or die. Well, then, has his Majesty made up his mind to the latter alterna- tive? Is he prepared to abdicate?

A letter from Naples states that the Siciliin government has jast concladed a treaty of commerce with Ru:sia, on the same basis as with other countries. Vessels from Naples will be granted free praiique on entering Russian ports, | whef provided with proper certificates. The public mind, too, is not relieved on the tena- city with which Austria still clings to the Danubian Principalities, and the determination evinced by the Viench government that she shall give them up. lt is in vain that the Aulic government taiks about the sacrifices it made to guard these Principalities, no | less from anarchy than from Russian invasion, and that it more than hints that ja continuing to hold them, it has the acquiescence and approval of the Ottoman government.

Again the uneasy symptoms prevail which have cansed so much perturjation among the upper classes. No sooner does the court remove to Com- piegne and inwugurate its series of splendid festivi- ties—no sooner, it may be siii, is the fascinating eye of the arch spirit of France withdrawn, than the demon of mischief lifts its head again and com- mences its strange work. Yesterday morning, when the police began their rounds, the Faubourgs St. Denis and St. Antoine were found to be placarded with the old cries, to which some adiitions, how- ever, were appended:—‘‘The luxuries of Compiegue would afford the workingmen of Paris bread for three weeks ;” ‘Murder the proprietors or they will murder us;” Down with ‘Bon-sirasb.’” Bon-strasb meaning no less a person’ than his Majesty Napoleon TIL, whore sobriquet is derived from the towns Bou- logne and Strasburg, where his abortive attempts were made to obtain that empire which the folly of Louis Philippe subsequently threw into his lap. The authorities are on the’alert, and their instructions are to create no sensalicn, to make, no disturbance, or attempt any interference with the disaffected, bat sizoply to remove the offensive placards. But these are awkward signs in the body politic, and if the state rides through without an explosion it will have reason to congratulate itself. ‘The fact is, the extraordinary stimulus which has been applied for the last five years is now obeying the common law, and exhaustion is com- ing upon us.
